| The Keys to Your Heart |
 You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you. You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. |

"金曲回顧" rename to "歌曲回顧"
While I was driving to work this morning I just had a sudden realisation that the name "金曲回顧" is totally wrong! It sounds as if I'm only introducing music back in the 70s and 80s! -.-" Which was not my intention at all!
Hence I have renamed to "歌曲回顧", where I will be introducing or more correctly to 'recall' your memories on some of the good songs that you may have listened to in the past. And by 'past' I seriously mean 'in the immediate past'...any songs that are not recent, any songs that are off the 'current latest pop chart'!!! (Or perhaps to 'introduce' you to good songs that you have missed out in the past!)
Yeah "歌曲回顧"...that's what I meant!!! : P

金曲回顧: 藍雨
Why "金曲回顧"?
LemonTz & music
hehe Have been contemplating for a while now to start writing some posts about music!
So yes...today....finally I have written my first post! : )
You see I have been a listener of music for a long time and have been listening to music (by music here I should emphasize on songs on the pop chart/tv/with a singer on a show etc! haha as I'm sure EVERYONE would have listen to 'some' sort of 'music' since they are very small as well! haha)
Anyway back to my blog...in particular I have been listening to HK pop ever since when I was small! There are a lot of old HK pop music that I still remember and love (and I should add that probably because I have been influenced by the collection my parents have as well! -.-") haha and I guess because I am a nostalgic person as well!!!
So I hope to start off a series of posts called "金曲回顧", just every now and then when I suddenly remember a song (haha sorry about the 老土名)! I shall use my blog as an opporutnity to introduce and as a commemoration of these good old music that were once knew and sung by everyone back in the good old days!
P.S. - I also hope to start writing some comments about new albums and songs that I have listened to as well. Please watch out the space for further posts later! : P
金曲回顧:
藍雨 by 張學友:
This song really is one of my all time favourite!!! (Hence making it my first "金曲" to be "回顧"! I actually first listened to this song (more correctly the first time I remember I heard this song) was back in 1995 when Jacky Cheung came to New Zealand to do his world tour. It was sung during the encores, and the song just sounded SO FAMILIAR to me and it's so so nice.
This is actually another 改编歌曲 from Japan. It was originally written and sung by 德永英明 and the song is called "Rainy Blue". (If you get a chance, try the Jap original version too! A lot of people love the Jap version!!!) The cantonese lyrics was written by 林振強 (another wonderful writer)!
What I love about the song is the 'feeling' that is generated from both the music and the lyrics. Both the music and the lyrics are so "貼切" that it really does convey the feeling of 'blue rain'!
The music starts off quiet where you feel the guy is slowly gathering his feeling..."灰灰的天 空空的街 千串細雨點". It slowly grows into the chorus where you feel the guy is showing a feeling of 'lost'..."冷冷雨哦 沒焦點因找不到妳 冷冷雨低泣彷彿要等妳經過". With the wonderful electric guitar playing during the middle of the music, conveying the growth of the 'blueness', it then finally reach the climax
雨點不清楚 妳已拋低我
仍共疾風東奔西走的找妳
彷彿不知不再會有結果
妳永不清楚 妳那天經過
留下萬千追憶一生封鎖我
今天可否會想起我
showing the guy's strong and final emotion for the girl, the music then dies down to show the sudden realisation that "the love is all over now, and he's back into reality".
Of course credits need to be given to 張學友 for conveying the 'blueess' so well by handling the changing of the 'notes' and the 'emotion' he puts and adds to the song so so well!!!

Get Out of Your House
One day (not so long ago) while I was chatting with my dad, he made an analogy which was actually quite funny but definitely interesting!
(Wow...I just realised this post is quite relevant to a forthcoming day! Read on...)
You see my dad made this analogy that.....'things' won't exactly 'work out' if everyone stayed inside their house waiting for other people to come along to visit them. As you see the streets will just be empty because everyone will be stuck sitting inside their room waiting and waiting for 'anyone' to come along.
Instead (as my dad put it), everyone should get out of their seat and go knock on the doors of the others...if you are to want 'anything' to happen!
As you can see this analogy is of course reflecting on the fact that if you would like to find your other 1/2, soul mate, partner....whatever you are looking for or would like to call.....you need to get out of your house and go and meet people or go knock on a 'specific' door! If everyone stayed wiating inside, no one will ever find anyone!!!!!! Instead if everyone get of their houses, you never know your luck and may meet someone new just by getting out on the streets! : P
haha please don't ask me how I came to having such a conversation with dad...but this is an interesting little analogy from dad (especially when it was told in Chinese)! : P
Originally I only wanted to write a post to document this analogy from dad...haha but I guess it's just in time for the 'Day of the Valentines' which is exactly next week! So let me wish everyone a Happy Valentines first! And for those who are still singles..."祝你早日找到如意郎君" (inverse to the guys) 加油吧!!! : P
(P.S. - To my friends who actually know me...haha this post is dedicated to you guys ga...it projects no reflections on me and it's just to doc. the interesting little analogy from my dad...so plz dun ask me..."What abt U!?" : P hehe)
